"Governors Island is one of New York City's crown jewels," Mayor Bill de Blasio said. "It's the kind of beautiful, open public space that we will rely on to drive our recovery this spring and summer. I'm grateful to the Trust for making the Island more accessible than ever this year, and the return of their full season will give more New Yorkers than ever a chance to enjoy everything the island has to offer."
For the first time, Governors Island ferries will stop at two Brooklyn locations on the weekend.
Residents will be able to catch the ferry at Pier 6 in Brooklyn Bridge Park and Atlantic Basin in Red Hook.
